What is a Layaway? A layaway plan is a purchase agreement between a retailer and a customer that allows the customer to make installment payments against the full purchase price of an item or number of items. In other words, if a customer wants to purchase a $400 television under a our layaway plan, he/she would make a 25% down payment ($100 dollars) and then agree to pay a minimum of $100 each month until he/she has paid the entire $400 and applicable sales tax.We take the television off the selling floor so that no one else can buy it, but the customer can't take the television home until the entire purchase price is paid.

I can't imagine anyone ever having anything other than positive things to say about Gail and Steve and their shop. Not only did they help me purchase The perfect wedding and engagement ring but also helped with some very specialized gifts for members of our wedding party. Since then I use them and only them for all my jewelry purchases which included anniversary gifts, wedding gifts, and gifts for my two beautiful nieces.

They are extremely knowledgeable about all their inventory and prices are completely reasonable. I actually even enjoy stopping by just to chat if they are not too busy. They make great suggestions and also are helpful in finding me something special if they don't currently have it available.

I brought in an antique pocketwatch to possibly sell or pawn. Their "watch guy" was looking it over when another employee, an old woman came out from the back. The counter person asked how much I was looking to get/what I thought it was worth? I said I am not going to throw out MY number first. The old woman behind the counter said "give it back to her and get her out of here.

I hate when people do that. I am not going to put up with it!" She horribly rude and disrespectful. I was the only customer, she might not want to scare off their only customer.

This is the best pawn shop I've ever been to. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Prices were definitely reasonable. Now I see why my best friend gets all her jewelry from Globe Loan everytime! I got a beautifully stunning ring for my marriage here. Thanks so much for everything. Everyone please come here! Much love, Nikki

I felt like the belle of the ball thanks to Globe Loan Jewelry! This beautiful emerald heart pendant sparkled brighter than my smile at The Mayor's Ball. Why buy some mass produced piece of jewelry when you can buy something with character! They have an amazing selection and their customer service is top notch. Family owned and operated by the wonderful Magnus's in the heart of Downtown Bakersfield. Stop in soon and meet Gale, Steve, or Brandon. They will all take very good care of you and find that special piece for your next event! 9

Have known these folks for year's most honest and respectable people I know in the pawn shop business. Gayle, Steve and Brandon are awesome and you'll always get a fair deal with them and they DO NOT and WILL NOT buy stolen property that you can be sure of. So go down and take a look at what they have to offer and mention my name Connie and that you saw this review on Google and they will take care of you.

The actual owner of Globe loan is a true piece of work. I found her to be cruel and heartless and possibly without a soul. I am homeless, getting a divorce. husband is taking me for everything I don't have. he has $5000 to spend on a retaining fee I have zero. all I wanted was a picture of my ring so that I could try and sell it. she would not let me see my own ring. Great businesswoman foul humanitarian

After leaving another shop (I was not happy with) I passed by this one. Took in my old jewelry and left with 65$. Brandon was happy to help me with a great attitude! Thanks #happycamper

I've been going to Globe Pawn & Jewelers since I moved here to Bakersfield almost "16" years ago! and I don't go anywhere else. Everyone there treats me like family, and friend. I always recommend Globe to all my friends when they need extra cash, have something they want to sale or get a loan on, or just looking to buy something at an affordable price.

So if your looking to buy sale or trade, "Globe Loan Jewelry Co. should be #1 of your Stops to Shop. My name is Tiffany DaCosta ( 16 year customer ) and I Approve This Message p.s to whom ever wrote the review about the Wooden Nickel blows globe away. WHERES THE WOODEN NICKEL NOW?. LOOKS TO ME LIKE THEY BLEW TOO HARD! BLEW THEMSELVES RIGHT OUT OF BUSINESS.

I went there a few weeks ago, the dogs were amazing to see and the personnel seemed friendly until I told them what I wanted to do, which was to sell my gold chain. They wouldn't disclose how much it weighs nor how much they were paying per penny weight and they offered me a ridiculous amount for my chain. I knew how much my chain was worth, the weight of the chain and the current cost of gold per oz. BUYER/SELLER BEWARE.

These people will try to rip you off and give you pennies on a dollar for your belongings just because they know you need the money. Avoid being scammed by these people AT ALL COST. NOT WORTH IT.

They split up merchandise to use 2 tickets instead of one to get a higher rate with ticket fee's. Very unfriendly and quick to turn you away if you catch them trying to put one over on you. They are not the best in town hands down the Wooden Nickel blows them away. Was turned away after rejecting their loan offer, so I walked down the street and Got the loan from the Wooden Nickel fast and friendly. And all on 1 ticket! The Worse Pawn Shop in Town not the Best. THEY ARE NO FUN!
